My invention relates to an improved pocket structure and particularly tov an 1mprovedsideu pocket for a pair of trousers so constructed andl arranged as to provide a l5y large compartment of the usual type and a` 10.. moval;

The several meritorious features and im'- portant advantages of my `invention will more fully appear-.from the followingdescription of the illustrative embodiment disdrawing and defined in the appended,claims.y

In the accompanying drawings:

` Figure 1" isa front elevationofa garment withI k.ockets embodying my invention atthereto.

Figure 2 isa plan view'of the pocket with the outer Hap or' fold turned back to more clearlyV illustrate the construction.

AFigure 3 isa section, in the plane indicated by the line IIL-III of Figure2, of

the completed pocket.

Figure is a plan view of the blank from which thev pocket is constructed.

Figure 5 is a section on the line'V-V of a,` a are the'two legs and a is the waist band of a pair of trousers. a" aindicate the entrances to the pockets. The various sub-pockets, are indicated inoutline by bro- Fig'.A 4 represents` the blank having the three flaps b, Vc andVV di b and cl'join each f other at their larger ends and d is adapted to he folded over'u on b on the line bd; and

`t0 c is .adapted to be olded on the line 6c over the iapA d. cn 'isa projecting portion extending` from the larger end of'theflf'ap` c which adaptedto be turned over the folded flaps b and d at the line bd' when the flap c is 4.5 folded over on" the first-mentioned flap, thus formin a reinforcement on the bottom of the poc et. L v r `d"` is an opening or' slit formed inthe flap d at the position indicated' so that it shall o0 form the entrance to a sub-pocket as hereinafter described..

y The pocketis constructed as follows The flap d is bent" backward and lcreased 4)" and is bent which extendsl i has a slit di" in its edge andV aportion dzfis turned over'along the line lolz to` formal reinforcement" for the edge, as indicated ini Figs. 2v and 4'. takenv at d Z9 (Fig. 2),` and anotherv line of: stitches f4 extending upward and curvingto the right, as indicated in Fig; 2s gz'indicatesl aline-of stitches extending vertically upward from the top of the linel f4. dgv indicates a line of vertical stitches alongtheA right hand edge andlupper parts of the overturned flap d and fg a horizontal line ofv stitches joining'the lower ends `ofthe line g? and dg.`

f3 is a button or clasp.

lA line of stitches e2 extendsv vertically along the lower'portions of the iiapsfb and d joining the same together and from the lower end of the line of stitchesv e2-'eXtends the horizontal transverse linevof stitches e3. which curves to the left and upward in. a. lineof stitches e, A slantingline of stitchesfef" is then-taken,as shown in Fig. 2, and an almost parallel line bendingjinward from. the rightl is taken asindicated at'f5 inFig. 2. By this arrangement the following auxiliary orsupplementary pockets are formed'. j

The pocket @having anentrance d4" and the ap Z5 d6 coverin'gf thev opening thereto', which flaps Imay be-fastened byk al button or clasp d?. The line of stitches est forms a supplementary pocket at the `left of' the pocket e, as showninlFig. 2'.

The-pocket f has its entrance; at ft'and" is provided with the slanting/ line lof'stitches v' f5 ,thus leavingI alongthe left hand edge toward `the upper part thereof,v as shownin Fig. 2,

an opening that when secured tothe garment registers with the openingjamand forms-fthe A liney of stitches is now` entrance to thekpocket :formed by .the flap c covering the flaps and d and secured as above described. course, access is had to vthe fob pocket g through the unstitch'ed p0r-l tion4 of the main pocket between the lseams lo, lc at the upper end of the flaps Zi, d and c. The pocket g may extend tothe upper edge of the waist band or may be located as shown 'with access thereto rom the upper. edge of the band or through the flap c and material.l

. of the garment.

By this construction it will beseenlthata readily accessible fob pocketg is provided and that a pocket f is also provided having its opening at-the inner portion of the main pocketso that an article. placed in the pocket f cannot be gotten at without attracting the attentionv of the wearer of the garment. lThe line of stitchesr f5 'forms a supplementary,

pocket 'at the front of the. ypocket f so that anarticle placed in the pocketf cannotfall out whenthe wearer leans forward as -itwi'l l be caught inthe supplementary pocket or re.-` ceptacle formed by the line of stitches'L f5.

Similarly an auxiliary pocket or receptacle is formed bythe line of stitches e5V in which an article placed in .the pocket e' will be caught andfretained even if the pocket is reversed in position'.

The turning of the auxiliary flap c2 over the edge bd forms a reinforced lower portion of the ocket and forms a strong securing meansy or the flap c and flaps b and d. This edge forming the bottom of the pocket is strengthened alsoby the-integral. textile material at the fold bd and alsoby the line of Astitches e3.

A multiple pocket structure .consisting of three complementaryportions overlying each other, the inner and middle portions integrally connected at the bottom ofthe pocket and stitched toeach lother at other points so-as to rvform a plurality ofl pocket compartments, and the third outsidepor tion integral with the inside portion on one vertlcall edge of the pocket and stitched to the other portions on the remaining edges,l thereby forming a large pocket compartment substantially the size of one of the complel y mentary portions.
